I disagree with the Congresswoman. Pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal was the RIGHT thing to do! And sanctions ARE effective. And no we can’t just pick up and leave Afghanistan in 24 hours.
I also don’t appreciate her slight against our alliance with Israel. Not saying everything they do or we do is perfect, but the anti-Israel bias there is plain.
However, the one touchy issue I could see someone of her stature capitalizing on to good effect is our close reliance on Saudi Arabia.
Agreed. For the most part she’s sticking to the war-mongering label her party has traditionally applied to the GOP, whether justified or not. In this particular case, it’s not justified. So, I think, like all the other Dim candidates, she is making arguments on what she thinks will sell to her party’s base, regardless of the facts.
One can almost hear her and her fellow candidates wishing for conflict to erupt so they can blame POTUS. It’s good politics for them. Bad for the country but good for them, so they’re secretly hoping we go to war.
The US relationship with Israel is going to change, because of the tides of history if nothing else.
Please post the reason, or reasons, that you think an alliance with Israel is a good thing for the United States, apart from common values or "democracy".
Please be specific about how this alliance has HELPED the United States in our military engagements in Lebanon, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria.
